Spur of the moment but I have at least to clear the laundry away and out of sight! Were you listening to Jeremy Vine today Sue.......... Today's Show Riot police have moved in to Dale Farm to evict the travellers who it's claimed are illegally camped. Lord Wolfson, the Chief Executive of Next, is offering a prize of £250,000 for anyone who can come up with a credible way of dismantling the Euro. A campaign group wants to encourage older people with large empty houses and too many rooms to sell their homes to younger people who need the space. Women who donate eggs are going to be able to claim £750 in expenses. Critics say this will encourage women to do it for the wrong reasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood it was local authorities wanting larger rented properties to be made available for families rather than single occupancy. My reasons for moving are another matter entirely but as the estate agent has just dropped a bombshell I will not be moving any time soon! It seems my house is now worth something over half the value it had 4 years ago when it was valued for probate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Eeeeeek!!! One reason i'm not getting my flat valued as i'm scared as to what its value is. But i'm lucky in that i've got a very good tenent in there paying the rent on time and not trashing the place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Working with father-in-law today. Cut the hedge around a nursing home, second of two cuts each year with tractor. Took a tree down in Westbury then trimmed some conifers at another customers place. Then popped over my Dads with a birthday and took him down the local for a meal. Tomorrow it's artic/rigid piggy back to Kent to pick up 5 Fords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 :D Talk about missing out the crucial word! It wasn't a huge present but it did come from Cornish Orchards A lot of 10 series have passed through the yard lately, Sean. Strong trade for somewhere I expect. They don't go through the workshops though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 It does hit the spot doesn't it, Mark! I bought a box of the draught for myself too and with an online order form, I dare say a box may arrive in time for the Christmas period Just left Boxley in Kent with a 7710 2wd bubble cab and pair of 5000's each with Farmhand F11 loaders and rear fork lifts. Rigid has a 7610 with a loader and a 575. Quite a pair cruising thd motorways in beaming sunshine and clear blue skies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Left the yard at 6am and went straight to Cwmbran in the 6 wheeler. I've just left having picked up a 590 and a 290. I 'should' be back in time for 10:30 tea break Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Up fairly early this morning to service the AGA in the kitchen, slowly been loosing heat so I let it out late last night so it was cold enough to handle. Stripped out the burner and removed all the carbon that over time builds up and eventually blocks up the inlet oil pipe just below the burner. Service by a heating or stove Company, they charge anything from £95 to £125 to do the same thing, once you've watched it done a couple of times you can do it yourself, easy.

powerrabbit Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Nothing to go wrong, basically just a good de-coke, no real skill needed all you have to do to make sure it works as it should is to make sure that the burner is set on its mounting plate dead level front to back and side to side so that the oil runs evenly in the wick grooves to give an even flame all round, seat the baffle rings properly, seat the barrell which is like a bell which incorporates the hotplate level and square, you have to get on top the stove, remove the centre ring/bung and put your hands inside the lip, inverted, and lift out the barrell, it's cast iron and weighs a good 50kg. You must make sure that the oil pipe unions don't weep or leak as well, tighten them just enough as these are brass. Once you've re-lit it, keep it turned up to 6 on the regulator until you're back up to temperature on the mercury thermometer guage on the front of the stove and then just regulate it to maintain the temperature you want by turning back the regulator between number 1 to 6, you regulate the temperature this way for cooking. I've serviced it myself now for over 15 years and as long as it keeps going, until it's obvious it's starting to carbon up, then I leave it alone. Replace the wick every second or third service as it gets hard and brittle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Gough Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 At college this morning some of us did a practise ploughing match ready for our first one tomorrow (eek), then I spent the afternoon helping the others that are doing the match clean and polish the college tractors that they are using.

Deere-est Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Got a few odd jobs to do, move a creep feeder, move a ring feeder and give the bulls some haylage. Once those are done I think I'll be lending a hand on the site where the new beef building will be going. Most of the stone is down but I think there is more topsoil to take away. So much going on here it's unreal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
